Fun fact: Mt. Rose is already open, and several other Tahoe-area ski resorts will open before Thanksgiving. That means now is a great time to stock up on everything you need for the winter season at the annual Snowbomb festival, a celebration of ski and snowboard culture.

The festival kicks off Friday evening with a ski and snowboard retail sale, but really comes alive over the weekend with beer tastings, lift ticket giveaways, a BMX/skate ramp exhibition and access to ski resort reps (both local and international) and popular ski and snowboard manufacturers.

If the idea of running around AT&T Park playing around with gadgets, games and scientific experiments sounds like fun, you're in luck. With more than 150 exhibits created by local scientists, engineers, programmers and more, Discovery Day gives the whole family a chance to enjoy science and the outdoors all in one shot.

The event will include a robot zoo, a teen area with giveaways and raffle prizes and a life science alley to learn more about the biotech industry from Bay Area companies.
